Denver Broncos Mock Draft: Targeting Key Needs for 2020
By Tylor Walden
Third Round Draft Picks
69th Overall – Netane Muti – Guard – Fresno State
Denver will very likely look to improve their offensive line in the draft. First up would be finding a player that could replace Ron Leary. The situation revolving Leary is going to be something to keep an eye on this offseason as his option year is coming up. Denver will have until March 10th of 2020 to exercise his option.
If Denver decides not to exercise it, that is where I see the Broncos drafting a guard. Muti could be a solid option for the Broncos.
86th Overall – Trey Adams – Tackle – Washington
If Ju’Wuan James cannot stay healthy or the Denver Broncos decide to move on from the Garett Bolles experiment, this is where I see the Broncos going after a tackle in the draft. Denver is more successful drafting linemen in the later rounds. Trey Adams looks to have a solid foundation under him. He could be a solid option in Denver.
96th Overall – Antonie Winfield Jr. – Safety – Minnesota
While the Denver Broncos have Kareem Jackson and Justin Simmons on the roster now as the safeties, John Elway could look ahead to the future and select Antonie Winfield Jr. to the team. He has amazing abilities as a safety. He can get himself to any spot on the field.
He also appears to be a great special teams player as a punt returner. Having Diontae Spencer returning kickoffs and Winfield Jr. returning punts, the Broncos could have a solid special teams return unit.
